Long Island Historical Miniature Collectors Society-model sodlier show 2010 - Novemer 20th, 2010
Since it is about 30 minutes drive from my house it will be criminal not to attend. Need to figure out what to bring this year

From a judge perspective....
I participated in multiple painting competitions both on local “state” and national levels but always on a competing side of things. This year was the first time I was actually judging a competition like this. First thing first. Demon in the city is a local New York City competition held by NYC GW store. While we try to advertise the event as wide as we can and encourage outside participation most (probably all) painters represented are from NYC. The

Now, after I moved out of Missoury I haven't seen anything like this.It last whole 10 minutes. In the end we had multiple downed tree, damaged cars and buildings. There are streets in Queens that have not a single tree standing. I was driving through this storm yesterday to pick up my daughter from school. A tree hit their building and broke some windows in gym.
Here are some pictures, some of them were taken yesterday, some this morning.

Bizarre Bazaar at NYC Games Workshop on 8th street!
Sturday, MAY 1st is the time when New York GW store on 8th street hold an (semi)annual Bizarre Bazaar! During this even you can sell (or buy!) your most unwanted miniature in the store. This is a great opportunity to unload miniatures that you don’t need and may be, if you are lucky, to buy that rare gem you always wanted but could never find.
This year, however, there will be MORE! At 2 pm on this day The Crazy Ian’s

This is my first time participating in this particular event and first time ever participating in Show and competition that involved mainly historic miniature painters. In the end I have mixed feelings about this event but first thing first. The event took place in the Freeport community centers on the Long Island, which is about 30 minutes drive from my house… anywhere closer and it would be in my living room; so this was a big plus. The two main parts of the event – vendors

Well, the rumors circulating for a couple of weeks were now given form on the Bells of lost Souls. No substance yet, but considering last year rumors about the LA Games day I am afraid we might end up with a single Games day.

Yesterday, in my local GW after I complained a lot about delayed Toronto GD coverage one of the employees mentioned that GW website undergoes substantial revamping and that the new incarnation will be essentially, well, "new". How new I don't know but he even mentioned a promotional campaign that GW will be starting soon.He even mentioned special T-shirts . I hope it will be better and more user-friendly that the current techno-monstrosity, although at this point I almost got used to
